pandaria is ok, it just isnt as nice as outland or especially northrend.

Outland certainly had some environmental variety, but a lot of its environments were pretty bland imo. HFP and SMV are sort of like different colored versions of each other (minus BT which stands out in a good way). Netherstorm, again, barren, but the Manaforges and Ecodomes gave it just enough personality to stand out. Pandaria may not have as much variation but the design is pretty great, especially Jade Forest (my favorite zone).

Q: Where the fuck is Xia Xia, SIU?!?!
A1: She needs to start making eggs for Easter...
A2: Drunk and sleeping somewhere.

I absolutely loved MoP, one of the main reasons being the culture surrounding it. Asian cultures just so happen to be some of my favorite cultures in the world, and this expansion really makes it seem like I'm in another place entirely, unlike Cataclysm.

But it wasn't aiming at the children's market, quite the opposite actually.

In the store when the customer is confronted with a variety of game boxes will a 30+ year old adult pickup and buy the box with cartoon pandas on the front or the one with dragons and knights locked in a bloodsoaked battle?

U guys KNOW Wow, so u know whats inside the box, but to the new players... it wont attract many people of an older age.

A new person isn't going to straight up buy an expansion to a game they never played. They would have to buy WoW, then the expansion, then the latest expansion, that is if they wanted to.
So tell me again how does this target towards children?
